Chapter 115: Decision
After Audrey’s decision to let Morris join the team was made known, not only was Kate very worried, even Hera, who had always trusted her, was a little worried.
“Audrey, if I had to say it, your decision was indeed a little impulsive,” Hera said.
Kate frowned slightly. “It’s best if we know the truth about the teammates we need to protect our safety. If it were him, I would actually be very afraid that he would choose to betray us for money.”
What she said made sense. Jill nodded in agreent.
“That’s right. If we don’t even know his background, what if he wants to harm us?”
Audrey had her own thoughts.
“If I rember correctly, with our team’s current strength, it shouldn’t be a problem for us to et the enemy head-on.” Audrey knocked on the table. “But have you ever considered what if the enemy attacks us?”
This sentence successfully silenced the three of them.
That was true. They knew how bloody the trials of the Templars Knights were. There were countless people who would launch sneak attacks.
And the most outrageous thing was that even if soone used improper ans to obtain a ranking, no one would co out to punish them.
That was because the rules of the trials were like this. As long as they were selected, it did not matter if they were right or wrong.
Kate’s hands tightened slightly. “Then what do you an?”
Audrey calmly gave them an analysis. “Actually, I’ve thought about it for a long ti. With our current combat strength, it’s very difficult for us to get high marks, so we can only win with speed.
“Just now at the market, Morris stole my wallet. When he held my wallet for a period of ti, even I did not sense his aura. It was only because my intuition told that I had lost sothing that I discovered him.”
Jill covered her mouth. “What? Even you didn’t notice him?”
It had to be known that Audrey’s presence was indisputable. If even she did not notice…
Then, the other party’s attainnts in this area must be unfathomable.
Audrey nodded. “It’s because of this that I wanted to recruit him. That way, whether we take the initiative to attack or prevent a sneak attack, we’ll have a layer of security.”
After hearing what she said, Jill also understood what she ant. She nodded in agreent.
Kate and Hera naturally did not have any complaints.
However, after settling one, another new problem appeared in front of them.
Trouble had co knocking on their door.
It was as though they had heard the rumor that Audrey had brought the person here. A few of them had directly co here and threatened to et Morris. The reason was very simple. Morris had stolen sothing from them and had not returned it.
“Get Morris to co out! He stole my gold ring the last ti. That’s my heirloom. get him to pay for it!”
“He stole my wallet. There are several silver coins in it. That’s our family’s food money.”
“And my jewelry…”
One of the won even cried out loud and knelt on the ground weakly.
Audrey could not bear seeing her actions and quickly helped her up.
“Madam, please calm down. We can slowly resolve everything.”
Another man sneered. “Slowly resolve everything? Now we want him to compensate us! If he can’t co up with the money, then you can compensate us!”
Audrey’s eyes turned blank.
She did not understand the logic behind these two sentences. Why did she have to pay the compensation?
“That’s right. Since you’re the one who took him in, then he’s your man. If he can’t co up with the money, then you’ll have to compensate us for our losses.”
The old woman cried, her tone sincere and certain.
Hera stood up and walked towards Audrey. She raised her hand and tugged at her sleeve. “Whoever stole your money, you’ll have to find that person. What’s the use of looking for Audrey?”
The man slamd the table. “We had already reported the case and were about to arrest him. It was you who brought him back. Now, they say that you’ll be in charge of everything. What if we don’t co looking for you? Don’t tell we can only bla our bad luck!”
He had a pained look on his face, as though he had experienced a great loss.
Hera sneered, “Why should we bear the losses that Morris has caused you? Since that’s the case, why don’t we call him out and let him handle it himself?”
“Forget it, let handle it.” Audrey raised her hand, wanting to take out the money from her bag.
When the old woman saw this action, her eyes imdiately turned expectant.
At this mont, the door was suddenly opened and Morris walked out.
He had actually heard the commotion outside a long ti ago, but he just wanted to see how Audrey would deal with it. He did not expect that she would really give them the money.
When they saw Morris co out, the few people who had been clamoring for compensation suddenly quieted down for so unknown reason.
“You just said that I stole your things, right?” Morris sneered.
The old woman seed to be a little timid. She did not dare to speak, so she could only pull the man next to her.
The man mustered up his courage. “Yes, you stole them. We rember it clearly…”
Morris’ face was as cold as ice. “Saying such things requires a corresponding price. There’s no need to waste ti here. Just follow to verify this with the truth stone and see if I stole your things.”
He clearly did not even know these people, but now they actually ca to him to talk about such things?
Was it not obvious that they were here to scam him!
Audrey felt angry.
When they heard the words ‘truth stone’, they were instantly frightened.
It had to be known that the person who went there to test them had to be telling the truth. Otherwise, they would be punished by lightning strikes. How could their small bodies withstand such great power?
“Ah! We might have rembered wrongly. My ring must have been lost when I was doing farm work,” the old woman hurriedly said.
“Mine too… why don’t we go back today…”
In this way, several people quickly turned around, but a mont later disappeared in the sight of everyone.
